Photo School

In addition to the regular stuff I do, I've been trying to learn how to take better pictures. I've done two online photography courses over the past 6 months, which I've enjoyed and have learned a lot from. Right now I think I know just enough to be dangerous, to occasionally take a halfway decent picture. But there are a LOT that aren't very good which can be frustrating. I've been trying to be better about practicing, because that's the only way I'm going to get better! Due to the practicing, I have a lot of random pictures and thought maybe I'd share some of them. A few random shots of our life over the past couple months, or at least the parts that I have deemed worthy of practicing with (i.e. I remember to have the camera nearby and the light is not too bad). Some I include because I think it is a good photo, some are just funny parts of our life. Enjoy!
